CardioOne-Catalyst MedTech Partnership Brings Advanced Cardiac Imaging to Independent Practices

Strategic alliance will establish state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging centers in two CardioOne practice partners in late 2025.

DENVER, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CardioOne, a growth and operational partner dedicated to empowering independent cardiology groups, has entered into a strategic partnership with Catalyst MedTech, an innovative leader in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging solutions. This strategic alliance marks the launch of CardioOne Advanced Imaging Solutions, a comprehensive turnkey imaging solution for independent cardiology practices across the country.

CardioOne and Catalyst are partnering to develop two advanced imaging centers in New Jersey and Philadelphia, fully equipped with PET-CT, CT angiography, and other advanced diagnostic capabilities. Both centers are expected to be fully operational by the end of 2025.

"Providing advanced imaging in the physicians' office is proven to lower healthcare costs and improve both access to care and quality heart care. But adding imaging services to a practice brings multiple complexities, including cost and regulatory burdens," says Jasen Gundersen, MD, CEO of CardioOne. "And now through our partnership with Catalyst MedTech, we can deliver an end-to-end, comprehensive advanced imaging solution to our practice partners."

Catalyst MedTech offers state-of-the-art imaging equipment and servicing across the U.S., offering a comprehensive range of PET/CT and SPECT equipment.

"Being an OEM (Digirad Branded Equipment) and operating multiple ISO Certified Multi-Vendor Refurbishment Centers, enables us to uniquely bring OEM Standards and Expectations to the manufacture, refurbishment, and service support process. As the largest independent service organization serving the nuclear medicine and molecular imaging market, we pride ourselves in serving as a trusted and respected partner for medical practices," says Martin B. Shirley, CEO and President of Catalyst MedTech. "This strategic alliance will equip CardioOne's practices with innovative, high-quality imaging equipment that will provide access and drive value for their practices and the patients they serve."

Drs. Jon George and Vincent Varghese of ReVascMed Professionals, an independent cardiology practice based in Philadelphia, PA, partnered with CardioOne to develop advanced imaging capabilities in their practice. "As a cardiovascular practice, we are able to provide numerous basic screening tests, and many practices have progressed to provide advanced procedures at ambulatory surgery centers… but lack the complex diagnostic testing in between, resulting in hospital referrals with a long bottleneck and wait times," says Dr. George. "We decided that it would be best to offer patients all of the diagnostic testing leading up to the therapeutic intervention within the practice."

Through this partnership, CardioOne will empower its practice partners by providing comprehensive startup and development resources, including business case formulation, site evaluation, equipment selection, licensing assistance, and more. CardioOne will also provide ongoing operations support, ensuring tight integration with essential third-party technologies, along with optimized supplies procurement and workflow design. In addition, ongoing support will include staff management, prior authorization management, and access to real-time data analytics and reporting, enabling sustained growth and operational excellence.
